been almost completely preserved (it is called Silesian Carcassonne).
Paczków (whose name comes from old Slavic Pakoslaw) was founded in 1254, when the Bishop of Wrocław gave permission for the location of a new town. The 16th century was the best period in the history of the town, being a major center of trade. In 1742, after the Silesian Wars, it was annexed by Kingdom of Prussia.
